With that much water in the cabin your engine is fully or close to fully submerged you probably need to figure a new engine into the decision because when water gets in that way it's bad news. The wood is fiberglass coated so grab a moisture meter eveb a cheaper one will give you an idea and hold it...

Just went to test the sending unit in the fuel tank I think I found the problemunder the wire when I took it off I just put it back so I didn't forget where it connected.

All good points, I won't put an automotive alternator in I've seem the gifs they also have clearly visible shielding over the coil so if that's there, there must be a reason. Was just trying not to spend 200 dollars is all but time to put on my big boy pants and find the correct replacement which is...

Any chance there's a place with a good price on a blue alternator to match? It's not worth 100 dollars more to me but maybe 30 so around 100 total? Thanks

Thanks guys I'll replace the alternator in the morning and try to clean the connections for the fuel gauge and see if I can figure out why the tachometer quit it could just not be hooked up there's a few wires disconnected but it's a replacement engine so I don't know. I'll update tomorrow though.

The previous owner (I swear it wasn't me) put one battery in right and the other in wrong then both in wrong engine still cranked over so I bought it. Now I've got the batteries and wires i could see melted corrected. The fuel gauge is pegged past full no movement at all even if I disconnect it. Tac...

Seems like every other day I'm at my marina in Mexico, NY on the south east corner of Ontario they are raising the docks idk if they just aren't draining the lake enough or what but it's getting worse and not better.

YES! That's them! Thank you so much, I was way off in the name and never would have found them.

This isn't my boat just a google image you can see on the sides of the windows the long ovals that open and close the windows those are what i was referring to.

I will take a picture tomorrow and post it here, I don't know what its called so didn't know what to search for.

The long ovals that you push on to open and close the windows I have no idea what they are called, but does anyone know of a company that makes them, or after they break that's it no more functional windows?

Just a follow up I completed the trip I strapped it to the trailer as mentioned but I also ran 2x 30 foot tow straps all the way around the boat at just above the water line to tie it to the trailer winch post and add an extra layer. 306 miles at about 55 miles per hour with no issues and no real co...

Awesome that's what I was hoping but I just wanted to make sure thank you Big D and everyone for agreeing it doesn't have to go far but I do want it to make the trip. It is inboard and the trailers rear beam is in almost 2 feet from the side rail end.

My boat doesn't have a bow eye, doesnt appear to have ever had one either no repairs no evidence of anything. I need to move it. I have a trailer that it will fit on size wise for my 26 foot Larson but that doesn't help me tow it safely without the main attachment spot. Is this just my boat or are t...

The first number of the last group is a 2 so it was built in 72 now it could very well be a crossover built in 72 but actually a 73 boat my paperwork says 72 though so I have no idea. This is why I am having a hard time... also it has the full teak cockpit
